Gems have remained unmoved. As an example, I have Carnage and Host summoned from my hideout, I loose one of these and return to my hideout to re-summon, it's no longer available. It's as if the gem keeps updating itself with what ever specter you have summoned and removes anything else. Pretty sure that's not how it used to work but I haven't played since Ritual... It worked differently even people that joined your hideout had their corpses added to your hideout desecrate Just as well I'm using easy to get specters, I'd be pretty pissed if I lost something that had taken a age to get.

I stopped playing summoner because even with desecrate spawning I found them painfully annoying to summon every time they died. That change was unnecessary and uncalled for.	Posted by Abscynth#0701 on Nov 8, 2021, 4:56:43 AM Quote this Post

part of me wonders if they want us to invest more in minion defenses to ensure our powerful support specters survive. But the majority of me is a big proponent of the concept that you should NEVER balance power using convenience (or inconvenience). Its why I hate the charm system in diablo 2, yeah its cool you get all this power but now you have to portal out every 5 seconds like your inventory has bladder issues	Posted by Saltychipmunk#1430 on Nov 9, 2021, 8:45:28 AM Quote this Post
Now it's worse then ever. Before, if all spectres were dying in a map or in a boss fight, we could return to HO to re-summon them (area was still "remembering" them). Now once we left the hideout, they are gone for good. And good luck re-summoning them in Sirus or Shaper area, where there are 1000 types of corpses for some reason. Bonus, if you use these items, like me, re-summoning is even more painful (nearby corpses are consumed every 5 seconds) Last edited by 6_din_49#4066 on Nov 9, 2021, 9:36:58 AM	Posted by 6_din_49#4066 on Nov 9, 2021, 9:31:42 AM Quote this Post
Is this change actually documented anywhere? I've looked but couldn't find anything but maybe I'm missing the correct language.	Posted by Kellog#5737 on Nov 9, 2021, 5:21:38 PM Quote this Post

It could either be a bug or an undocumented patch, similar to how there's no mention of spectres no longer needing Lifetap support anymore which also got implemented this league.

MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish.	Posted by Pizzarugi#6258 on Nov 9, 2021, 5:34:14 PM Quote this Post

I've asked the question in the Technical Support forum here If you have anything to add please comment there.	Posted by Kellog#5737 on Nov 9, 2021, 6:09:24 PM Quote this Post

You mean you can replace Lifetap support with Clarity aura? I don't know the exact details, but from what I do understand, lifetap is no longer needed. If I had to guess, spectres got more mana or their abilities no longer use it. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
